0.13 tsp saffron threads

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tsp lemon juice

0.25 cup water

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bloom the saffron by crushing the threads into a fine powder and mixing with 1 tablespoon of warm water; set aside to steep.

• 2

  Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced yellow onion until soft and translucent.

  Season the chicken breast with sea salt and black pepper, then add it to the skillet to brown on both sides.

• 4

  Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute before adding the saffron water and the remaining 0.25 cup of water.

• 5

  Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

• 6

  In a small separate pan, quickly toss the dried barberries with lemon juice over low heat for 60 seconds to plump them up.

  Fold the warmed barberries into the cooked basmati rice and serve immediately alongside the saffron-infused chicken.
